Poetry. Susan Terris is a poet of tensile, particular language and fearless investigation. In this far-reaching book, Terris's gifts of superb observation and word-craft turn in multiple directions--into the myths, stories and realities of childhood; into the myths, stories and rendered lives of figures from science, history, and the arts; into the myths, stories, and (sur)realities of personal experience. This book holds the manyness of selves, both intimate and enlarging; it is also a book of connection, world witness, self-witness, and imaginative expansion.--Jane Hirshfield
